Spaghettini With Crab, Lime & Chilli

From Bill Granger's bills Sydney Food. This dish relies on the hot pasta to warm the other ingredients, so combine immediately after draining. This works well as a quick weeknight meal. I've made many variations, using only lemon zest and juice, coriander in place of the parsley, omitting the lime and adding Parmesan, etc. . . It's easy and versatile.

Sensational dish. Limes have been $1.50 each lately. When I managed to buy four for the price of one, I chose this as a worthy recipe (Bill Granger knows his food). Lucky me, crab was on special too. The combination of flavours is absolutely perfect. I used 30 grinds of pepper and thin egg noodles. It really was ready within 20 minutes. I look forward to trying some of the suggested variations. Thanks for a real winner.
